The Citizens' Convenience Center (CCC), is a self-service, easy-access, outdoor area designed for efficient disposal of household wastes. Trash can be dropped off without having to be weighed in at the main Division of Solid Waste and Recycling facility entrance and without a trip to the high-traffic, enclosed area of the transfer station. The CCC is partitioned off from the main landfill site and is only accessible via an automatic gate located along Recycle Road. 

Customers who use the CCC will pay a flat rate for disposal of household waste and/or to drop off electronics for recycling. This rate is subject to change. (Alternately, residents may choose to access our main facility grounds through the scale house gate, where vehicles are weighed to assess load-specific tipping fees.)   
 
  *** As of November 1, 2022 the current rate is $7.93 per transaction. *** 

• Users must have a credit card and a valid drivers license showing a Frederick County address.
